Directions:

  1. First, let’s gather our craft supplies. Choose an old sweater, grab your scissors, foam wreath form, and hot glue gun and let’s get started. You should be able to find a foam wreath form at your local craft store, or even dollar store. But if for some reason you can’t, you can also find them online HERE. upcycled sweater, wreath form, DIY wreath
  2. Start by cutting the sweater into strips of fabric. You will want each strip to be approximately 2″ wide and at least 12″ long. how to make a fall wreath
  3. Next, apply hot glue to the end of one strip of sweater fabric and press it to the inside of the foam wreath form. Carefully hold it until secure. diy wreath tutorial
  4. Wrap the sweater strips around the wreath gently pulling as you go. When the strip runs out, glue it to the foam form with your hot glue and start the next strip. upcycled sweater DIY wreath

How to Make Homemade Wreath Rosettes

  1. To create the rosettes, take thinner strips of sweater fabric (about 1/2″ wide and 6″ long) and roll them. Or wrap them into a roll. Either way – roll them so that they look like a flower. Secure the end with glue to prevent unraveling. diy flowers from old sweater, homemade wreath
  2. Next, apply a generous amount of glue to the back of the rosette and press them into the corner of your DIY Fall wreath, one at a time. Repeat, creating 3-5 rosettes and glue them in a cluster. rosettes upcycled sweater, diy wreath
